ABOUT THE EVENT
Hosted by the Downtown Morgan Hill Improvement District, in partnership with the Bay Area Panthers and Visit Morgan Hill, the Summer Kickoff & Twilight Market event will transform a portion of downtown’s E. Third Street into a high-energy block party. Attendees of the debut Thursday evening Twilight Market will have a chance to meet Bay Area Panthers players, coaches, and front office staff, enjoy interactive football-themed programs, and participate in kids-themed activities. There will also be opportunities to enter to win merchandise and tickets to Panther home games, which take place at the SAP Center in San Jose.
The Twilight Market brings a showcase of 20 artisan vendors in a festive open-air ambiance to downtown, as the first of a series of seasonal “twilight” markets. Attendees can shop local arts and crafts, enjoy music, and take advantage of special offers from downtown restaurants, like a s’mores bar at the downtown hot spot MOHI Farm. Hosting the event on a Thursday evening invites families to ease into summer weekends with a fun, low-stress outing, perfect for enjoying longer days, cooler evenings, and the cheerfully lighted downtown atmosphere.
